I think the term racist, Chris, has become a label that is too often deployed by left/Democrats in this country simply to try to silence and punish and suppress people they disagree with, speech that they dont want to hear, Miller began, asserting that Trump has been a president for all Americans because of historically low black unemployment rates, historically low Hispanic unemployment rates, and his crackdown on immigration to protect safety, security, rising wages for all American citizens.
Wallace responded that Trumps claims that Mexican immigrants are mostly rapists and drug dealers and his proposed total ban on Muslims were not protecting the American people but playing the race card.
After Miller tried to change the subject to criminal gang members, Wallace shut him down, reminding him that Trump had pushed racist birther attacks on Barack Obama. Miller likened those efforts to undermine the legitimacy of the former president to questions that were once raised about John McCain. Wallace quickly fact-checked him, noting that concerns surrounding the late Arizona senator were not racial, but based on the 2008 nominees birth in the Panama Canal Zone.
Miller then argued that questioning peoples Americanism is okay as long as you dont intend it to be racist.
